A quick definition of adverse dominion:

Adverse dominion is when someone takes control of something that doesn't belong to them without permission. This can happen with objects or property. It's like taking someone's toy without asking or moving into someone's house without their permission. It's not allowed and is considered wrong.

A more thorough explanation:

Adverse dominion refers to the unlawful exercise of control or authority over someone else's property, resulting in the true owner being dispossessed. This can occur in a variety of contexts, including torts and property law.

One example of adverse dominion is when someone takes possession of another person's car without their permission and refuses to return it. This is considered conversion, which is a type of tort that involves the wrongful taking or use of someone else's property.

Another example of adverse dominion is when someone occupies a piece of land that belongs to someone else and claims ownership over it. If they continue to use and maintain the land for a certain period of time, they may be able to claim adverse possession, which is a legal doctrine that allows someone to acquire ownership of property through continuous and open use.

These examples illustrate how adverse dominion can result in the true owner of property being deprived of their rights and control over their possessions. It is important to respect the property rights of others and not engage in actions that could be considered adverse dominion.

@MrThickRopes: I saw a YLS reject wave at 4:45 a couple of weeks ago, so I'd say 5:00 is a safe cutoff guess for schools in EST, given that's when admin offices typically close for the day

Have you looked at the admit graphs for the schools you've applied at? It can be helpful. For example, I sort the results based on complete or under review date and see if people who went complete or under review after me have received answers. If they haven't, scrolling down to see when people who have received answers, and when they went complete or under review, gives me an idea of how far out I might be for getting a response

@MrThickRopes: If I see people that went complete or under review after I did, and they are getting interview invites, then I lower my expectations for a positive result at that school.

Thx

@MrThickRopes: If someone who went complete or under review two weeks after me is getting accepted or interview invites, then it seems likely that I'm not a hot candidate for that school. Conversely, if there have been rejections of applicants who went complete or under review after me, that I feel somewhat confident that I am still in consideration

@MrThickRopes: you can also sort by decision date and look at the graph at the top left to get a good idea of when schools have waves (every week, every other week, Thursdays, rainbow or solid, etc.). While you still won't have control, it gives you a better idea of what you can expect and when

Cool I’ll do that
BC is every two weeks so there is a very good chance their wave will be on thursday
How does the live updates page work? I notice that I'll often see the same person receive 4-5 or even more decisions within a minute or two. Do schools provide decisions for specific LSAC account #s and then LSAC releases them in batches or something along those lines?

@SplittingNotQuitting: If you click on the name, you'll likely notice that they are updating their profile with decisions received on multiple different days.

@SplittingNotQuitting: Everything on here is self-reported, so we have to count on each other to be accurate and update for us to use the data points effectively
Ah, I understand. I was under the impression it was interfaced with the automatic status updater. Thanks.

@SplittingNotQuitting: I actually haven't seen anyone on here say that the automatic status updater works. Just lots of questions from individual users as to why they can't get their updater do work 🙃

Haha. I was wondering how legit it was. I'll just continue to watch my LSAC status tracker and email like a hawk.

I am half expecting a restraining order from my status tracker. I feel dangerously close to reaching stalker status 😳
W&M sent an apology letter for not having my decision on time. I appreciate the thought but I also was preparing myself for the worst

@UnderRepresentedTryhard: Did they send you an answer with their apology?!?
20:48

eggan
20:51

eggan
20:52

20:52

Anybody know the best place to find admitted students group chats?
GWU status checker says decision made but no email bruh
@CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage: No. If you mean “answer” as in being accepted/denied, no

Is a $30k total difference in COA between two similarly ranked schools too much? Even if the most expensive one has a niche concentration I want to pursue?
uhhh if you're rolling in dough (hundreds of millions to billions) sure...but if you're taking out a loan, don't do it. You can pursue what your niche falls under and their may be a course that teaches that niche. check courses if they're available tho
wrong there. i deserve death penalty
Guys i want to apply to colleges but ALL of them have a 4.0 scale and my school has a 6.0 (my GPA is 5.4- average)
